Man Fires Shots, Robs Taco Bell In St. Paul

ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) — A man with a gun robbed a Taco Bell in St. Paul Monday evening.

The robbery happened at the Taco Bell on the 1400 block of White Bear Avenue around 9:30 p.m. Police say the robber is described as a 6-foot-tall white man with a thin build, wearing all black and a face mask.

The man walked in with a gun and demanded cash. Police said the man then fired off three shots. No one was hurt.

A Taco Bell employee said they have been warned that other Taco Bell locations have been robbed this month.

The robber got away with about $75.

Taco Bell issued the following statement after the incident: “At Taco Bell, our primary concern is the safety of our employees and customers so we’re thankful that no one was hurt. Our franchisee appreciates the swift action of the police and is fully cooperating as they investigate.”

It was in St. Paul. Not Maplewood. Maybe the newscasters should invest in one of the maps with boundries like the cab companies do so next time actually know WHER the crime they are reporting happened, lol

JaimeinMN you are an absolute fool! How ironic that I have the same first two initials as someone else…I bet that has NEVER happened before! I am not JP and I was using GOOGLE as an example. Find any map and look it up that address is south of Larpenteur Ave which is the border of Saint Paul and Maplewood. Would you like to add any more intelligent feedback? I would encourage you to know what you are talking about before you open that flap of yours.

8 out of 10 comments on whether it’s north or south of Larpenteur,,,,Geez, you guys have way too much time on your hands. Does it matter to you personally? Much bigger issues to quibble about these days.
